Message: [QUOTE="Gurleyman, post: 4787627, member: 175"] I haven’t seen much this year (some of NAU, none of Stonehill), but I thought this was a great strength of Clingan’s during last year’s run. He wouldn’t just block shots - he’d keep his feet and sometimes get steals by threatening to block shots and then reading the pass and sagging. And then he would time his shot blocks just right and block/contest even difficult fadeaways by not getting off balance. He got in Arkansas‘ head, and made Timme’s shot selection difficult. I was really impressed by his defensive savviness as a freshman, and thought his offensive savviness had a ways to go to catch up. Not saying you’re wrong - now that he’s starting and maybe anxious to take the next step, he could be getting more eager to make plays and getting outside of himself a bit. And there were times last year he didn’t stay vertical and picked up fouls he could have avoided, which didn’t matter so much with Sanogo to go back to. [/QUOTE]
